This is a great read and history for both May 1st 2006 a day without an immigrant and a kick that lead to the Chicago Teachers strike in 2012 https://socialistcall.com/2026/03/10/when-millions-marched-for-immigrant-rights/

When Millions Marched for Immigrant Rights - The Call

The 2006 mega-marches against legislation to criminalize the undocumented revealed the hidden power of immigrant workers.

The Call

I remember that day! And yes, I took to the streets along with fellow students!

The Day the Émigrés Struck Back

Remembering the #GeneralStrike of #MayDay2006

#CrimethInc, February 5, 2025

"In 2006, students around the United States engaged in spontaneous walkouts protesting the repression of undocumented people, culminating on May Day in the first great general strike to take place in the US in the 21st century.

"Today, as students are once again staging walkouts and people around the country are taking to the streets against the immigration policies of the second Trump administration, it is a good time to revisit this earlier high point of resistance."
